I bought this in the early 1980's & used it as a jobbing musician for about 8 years.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]
It's been in store since then![/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]
This is the classic and top of range Ibanez bass of the time - as used by Sting (don't let that put you off!) and other musicians of the time. I loved it for its rich well-balanced sound & 2 octave neck. Straight through neck must help its sustain & resonance. Looks like an ebony fretboard (?). Powerful pickups.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]

On board electrics for boost - great on stage but too noisy for studio use I thought. Pots are a bit crackly - needs a clean.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]
Neck true, wear on frets modest.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]
A few dings and scrapes - good vintage condition otherwise. I've photo-ed these - the worst in on the top cutaway (it fell out of a stand in a rehearsal room in St Paul's Bristol in about 1983!). Needs a bit of TLC generally to present it at its best. My local guitar specialist suggested I list it exactly as it is rather than tart it up - so that's what I've done![/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]
Whoever buys this will gain a superb bass for stage or studio - the best of its era & with period charm & distinctiveness.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]
Battered flight case included.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Times][size=1]
